Nadia Ferrante

I'm a realist contemporaryartist, who prefers the representation of the human figure, both whole and portrait. After attending an introductory course on drawing and painting techniques, I perfected myself mainly by self-taught. ---(My favorite artists are the great Italian masters, Caravaggio, Michelangelo, Raphael but over the years I I discovered Klimt, Degas, and the Pre-Raphaelites with whom she falls madly in love.) ---My personal works are in private collections and I work on portraits and figurative commissioned both from life and from photography. My style is imaginative realism and my prefer technique is dry pastels but other techniques that I frequently use are graphite, charcoal with the three-color technique and oil colors. In my paintings and drawings, I build an emotional and psychological dialogue with the viewer, in which I try to probe the various nuances of the emotions of the human being. My characters emerge dramatic and immersed in an enigmatic and intellectually rich context of philosophical contents that stimulate the most curious minds. I presents the viewer with my own concept of beauty and emotionality, drama and sensuality.

Over time I deepens my knowledge of the main techniques I use, soft pastels, oil colors and graphite, alone, and I am mainly interested in portraiture and figurative representation. I work a lot on private commissions, but the long period of the lockdown due to the pandemic has given me the impetus to try to prove myself with competitions and exhibitions. I expresse myself mainly with dry pastels, pastel pencils and in the three-color technique, si...
